As an aside to the post below, and from the perspective of data organisation... I started my Therion 'life' using the 'more correct' syntax below, and ended up with data files about as difficult to read, and hard to check against field notes (which have offset lines to distinguish between leg data and point LRUD data) This syntax blurs the distinction between LRUD for the 'from' station and the 'to' station, compounded by the Therion convention of defaulting to the 'to' station unlike other software (typically American) common in New Zealand. Luckily, as it turns out, not knowing about the '-' option meant that I settled on an approach that completely separates the two dimensional leg data from the somewhat one dimensional point LRUD data. This has turned out to be much easier to enter, check and correct, and looks much tidier. The small amount of extra typing is well worth it, and for that matter, Therion does most of the extra 'typing' for you. For example... #Survey Legs #----------- data normal from to tape compass clino F38 F39 5 245 -25 F39 F40 3.5 195 -5 F40 F41 4.4 236 0 F41 F42 8.1 205 3 #Passage Dimensions #------------------ data dimensions station right left up down F38 2 1 10 3.5 F39 1 2 10 3 F710 3 2 1 0 F41 0.5 1 1.5 1 F42 1.5 2 2.5 3 Having said all that, it's nice that Therion has lots of flexibility and really good to know about the - to leave the data unspecified. (Presumably it gives better results than setting the values to zero?)

behaviour as it should be?
